I don't know what to do with him, with him not talking at all it can be difficult to figure out how much he understands, but I'm pretty sure he knows this isn't on. Last night after he'd done it he didn't get to get back in the bath - I showered him off and then didn't run them a fresh one, and he was well unimpressed with that. So maybe it has to be that sort of approach. :( Been trying all those things - he has actually sat on the toilet and potty a couple of times now, but no sign of doing anything.

Or take him out the bath to the loo before he goes? Doubt he'd be keen if he likes the bath. Ho hum, toddlers eh? Do you keep explaining about where he should be putting it, and everyone demonstrating where they put theirs? (i.e. not in the bath, it has a special place!!) Have to admit we missed this phase, except for when he was trying to blow bubbles in the water and made a mistake! on the +ve side, at least he's not constipated, or doing it on a fluffy rug or worse!!! Good luck with the studying, sounds like gobbledegook to me! Don’t suppose there’s any chance he’d sit on the toilet to do it before the bath? Or take him out the bath to the loo before he goes?

Can't pretend to understand a word you're on about but hope you do, by now ;) Red nose readers, politics, stencils, books all sound good. Can't help on *the other*, I really don't know. For a long time when she was between one and two, about Small's age now I suppose, I avoided taking Abbie swimming if I wasn't completely sure that the BM had already happened for that day, because it just seemed that water served to relax *all* her muscles, so you have my sympathies. Bath is better than swimming pool, that's all I can say. And both of those are better than a wicker rocking chair, but that's another story ;) So how’s it going this evening?

Especially where negatives are concerned. Something to do with flipping all the bits and adding one? So you get presented with some bizarre question asking you what would happen if you have 0x80000000 >>7 and I'm like ???? I just don’t get it.
